SPRAYING lNOZZLE SPECIFICATION forming part of ,Letters atent No.664,893, dated January 1, 1901.

Application led March 3l, 1900.

To all whom, it may concern.-

le it known that l, PETER O. PETERSON, a citizen of the United States,residing at. Ottawa, in the county of Franklin and State of Kansas, haveinvented a new and useful Spraying-Nozzle, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to spraying-nozzles, and has for its object toproduce a nozzle which will be simple in construction and effective inoperation and can be applied to any use to which the ordinary nozzle isadapted.

TNith this object in view my'invention consists in the novelconstruction and arrangement of parts of the same, as will behereinafter more fully set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, in which the same reference charactersindicate corresponding parts in each of the views in which they occur,Figure lis a side elevation of my improved nozzle, showing it inoperation. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the same. Fig. 3is a side elevation of the tube portion of the nozzle. Fig. 4 is anelevation ofthe spraying or spreading portion of the nozzle, and Fig. 5is a bottom end view of Fig.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, a indicates the tube ormain portion of my spraying-nozzle, which may be of any deany suitablematerial. The intermediate portion of the tube near the upper end isprovided with a screw-threaded enlargement g, by means of which it maybe secured in position in a suitable support h. Directly above thescrew-threaded portion there is a still greater enlargement t', which isformed angular in cross-section for the reception of a wrench insecuring it in position, the shoulder formed by said enlargement formingan abutmentfor engaging with the support 7L and stopping its furtherrotation.

rihe upper end of the tube is screw-threaded, as shown atj, for thereception of an ordinary casing e, which is provided with a suitablecoupling 7g, by means of which it may be connected with any suitablesource of supply. A valve-stein c extends through the top of the casinge and longitudinally of the casing ct and has its upper end providedwith a valve wheel f and the lower end With a plug or Serial No. 11,012.(No motlei.)

spreader b. The intermediate portion of the stem, as at c, isscrew-threaded to engage with the casing for the purpose of moving thespreader back and forth relatively to the mouth of the tube as the wheeland stem are rotated. Near the lower end the tube is provided internallywith a suitable stem-guide d, which causes the spreader b to be centeredwithin the mouth of the tube.

The spreader is preferably screwed to the lower end of the stein candhasaseries of longitudinallyarranged ribs m, which fit snugly Within themouth of the tube ct and hold the central portion of the spreaderaxially within the tube. The spreader is preferably formed slightlyconical, and the end of the tube is slightly recessed or flared for thereception of the spreader. The head n, or outer end of the spreader, ispreferably enlarged, so that when the spreader is drawn within the endof the tube the periphery of the head will approach or engage with theWall of the tube, and thereby permit a greater or less quantity of Waterto escape or to close it entirely.

As above described, it Will be seen that my improved sprinkler can besecured in any desired position by simply inserting the tube through asuitable base and screwing it fast therein. Water being turned on fromthe source of supply, it will enter through the casing at the top andpass through the channels between the conical portion of the spreaderand the end of the tube formed by the ribs or projecting portionm uponthe sides of the spreader. By moving the head back and forth relativelyto the mouth of the tube by means of the stem and valve-wheel the amountof water to be discharged by the sprinkler can be adj usted to anydesired quantity, and after the adjustment has been made it willpermanentlyremain that Way until changed by the rotation of the Wheeland valve-stem. By making the spreader removable from the stem and thestem removable from the casing the different parts may be easilyseparated and reassembled for the purpose of repair or alteration at anytime and Without requiring the services of a skilled mechanic. The ribsupon the sides of the IOO spreader will hold the main portion of thespreader at a uniform distance from the end of the tube, and therebycause an equal quan- Although I have shown what I consider to be themost desirable form of constructing my improved sprinkler, yet I reserveto myself the right to make such changes and alterations therein as Willcome Within the scope of my invention.

While I have described my invention as pertaining to Water, it is ofcourse understood that it can be used for any kind of uid.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a sprinkling-nozzle, the combination, with a tube provided Withmeans for supporting the same, an inlet at one end and a ared outlet atthe other, a slightly-tapering spreader Within the flared end, theexterior of which is provided with longitudinal ribs and the peripheryof the head is even with provided with an externally-screW-threadedenlargement and an angular enlargement adjacent thereto,of a casing onthe screw-threaded end of the tube provided with an inlet, and anadjusting-rod through the casing and the tube, the top of which isprovided with means for rotating it and the lower end is provided With aspreader in the iiared portion of the tube.
